Wallace University is rocked by a string of murders. Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by its Queen Bitch, Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts). But when anti-Kappa Dean Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school’s silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc, claiming one victim, one episode at a time. Part black comedy, part slasher flick, SCREAM QUEENS is a modern take on the classic whodunit, in which every character has a motive for murder… Or could easily be the next blood-soaked casualty.

Emma Roberts is not my favorite person in the world, (not because of her AHS roles, but because of who she is as a person), but I couldn’t have cast a better actress to play the Queen Bitch On Campus – Chanel Oberlin. Cathy Munsch, the Dean of Wallace University, is played by actual scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis – and she is at the top of her game! (Still a babe, too.) One of Chanel’s little minions is played by Zombie Land’s Abigail Breslin, and it took me half of the pilot episode to figure out where I knew her from. You’ll recognize many more Scream Queens – so don’t let me spoil all the fun! (True Blood beefcake, a brother from a boy-band, and a Reno 911alum… just to name a few!)

“Shut up, you don’t die from getting your face burned off.”

~ Chanel Oberlin

Scream Queens is ‘campy’, it’s over the top, and packed full of iconic horror references – making me sad that I watched it alone, not having a person next to me to punch with excitement every time I caught something, or just wanted to fall off the bed laughing.

With Jessica Lange out but other series regulars returning, many fans have been wondering where Evan Peters stands when it comes to American Horror Story: Hotel. Will he find a room or be left out in the cold?

Ryan Murphy says season 4 of American Horror Story will be about a 1950′s Florida freak show run by Jessica Lange. And now he’s confirming your worst fears: There will be a clown!!

I thought it was going to be light but it’s turning out to be quite terrifyingly dark, which feels much more like the Asylum season. But look — if you have a character named the Clown Killer, it’s going to be dark.

Clown Killer. That doesn’t sound good. Murphy agrees:

The most terrifying clown ever!

He also says there will be a bearded lady. No word on whether that part is going to returning cast member Kathy Bates or maybe Angela Bassett, who told E!, “I don’t know if I’ll be a Siamese twin or a bearded lady!”

“I live in two worlds, one is a world of books,” she said. “I’ve been a resident of Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina and strolled down Swann’s Way. It’s a rewarding world.”

It’s a funny/quirky guilty pleasure of mine.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve seen every episode of The Gilmore Girls. Multiple times. (I even stopped flicking through the channels when I saw it on a couple of days ago!) I get lost in Star’s Hollow, dreaming of being my own [IRL] Lorelei/Rory character.
If you’ve ever watched the show with any regularity, you know that Rory is always reading. On average, she is reading three different books at once. I sometimes want to read more like Rory – to emulate a fictional character’s reading habits!
Once again, someone at BuzzFeed has provided me with another perfect post, and I want to share highlights with you! This one was done by Krystie Lee Yandoli, and you can see the article if you click HERE. This isn’t the definitive, end-all list, and these aren’t all Rory’s Reads. The books on this list were all referenced to by a GG character, not necessarily read by Rory. I still think it’s great!

I read something interesting today.
Another season of Dexter is in ‘talks’.
Would you be pissed? Like… You went through the last season, invested your emotions, were disappointed, but then accepted it as over.
